PETER, PETRY, OF NEWARK, NEW JERSEY.

HARNESS-MOUNTINGS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 266,881, dated October 31, 1882.

Application filed August 29, 1882.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PETER. PE'rnY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Harness-Mountings; and Ido hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention. such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The object of this invention is to facilitate the operation and reduce the cost of construct-- ing harness-mountings, such as terrets, checkrein hooks, 850.; and it consists in the arrangement and combination of parts, substantially as herein set forth,and embodied in the claim.

The drawings fully illustrate my invention as applied to a tcrret, Figures 1 and 2 being respectively a side and front elevation, Fig. 3 a section taken through line 00, and Fig. 4 a perspective view of a flanged head separate from the terret-ring and shank and adapted to be secured thereon.

In constructing a terret embodying my invention I cast or otherwise form the shank and ring portions 0 aof one integral piece, the base of the ring, or that portion thereof having the shank connected therewith, being recessed, as shown, to receive the flanged head I). The head 12 is formed with jaws b b, of sufficient dimensions to inclose the ring, and a perforation, 0, passes through the head for the reception of the shank.

in uniting the parts the shank is thrust through said perforation 0 until the base of the ring lies in the seat between the jaws. Said jaws are then bent together, forming a neat joint imperceptible to a casual observer, and holding the flanged head securely upon the shanked portion.

It will be understood that the invention is applicable to other portions of harness-mount- (No model.)

ings-such, for example, as the check-rein books.

I am aware that it is not new to form the ring or hook portion a with its shank in a separate part from a head portion, and, further, that a head has heretofore been formed witha hooked portion adapted to be bent over the rings. In the former case the ring or book has not been inclosed by arms which, when bent over the ring, give strength to the ring on its shank, as well as beauty to the article. In the second case of which I am aware no provision has been made for the ring-shank through the head, the terrct being secured on thesaddleby anindependentscrew. Bymeans of my device these objections are overcome. The shanked ring or hook and the head, when completed for the market, are so strongly united together as to be inseparable by any ordinary usage.

The simplicity of construction and the consequent small cost, the ease by which the parts can be finished before they are combined, and the adaptability of the articles to be finished in superior manner at the cost of a much comm0ner article are the more especial features of CHARLES H. PELL, J. A. HENRIOH.
